That means you do occasionally see what we know as Telecasters labelled as Esquires in the vintage market.
This originally brought a saving of thirty Dollars, at a time when the entire Telecaster probably cost approximately two hundred.

Historically, the name Esquire predates Broadcaster, "Nocaster" and Telecaster.
Originally the esquire was a single pickup model, a small amount of 2 pickup esquires were then made and the broadcaster followed

Broadcasters have an adjustable truss rod. The name change may have been partly to differentiate from the non-reinforced neck examples.
The name Esquire returned in 1951 and, ever since, has applied to a single pickup guitar.
I'm very tempted by that black thinline.
The change to a wound fourth string would improve the intonation on any three-saddle bridge with straight cut rod sections. By the same token, it will mess up the intonation with most preset compensated saddle sets.
With these aspects sorted, the sound would be kinda Baritone but the string tension could prove kinda wriggly.
